# The Fiction Writer - Hardcover

by **Jillian Cantor** (Author)

"Juicy, suspenseful, and irresistible."**\- Nina de Gramont, _New York Times_ Bestselling author of _The Christie Affair_**  
  
"Sultry and mesmerizing..." **\- Katy Hays, _New York Times_ bestselling author of _The Cloisters_  
  
From the _USA Today_\-bestselling author of _Beautiful Little Fools_, Jillian Cantor's _The Fiction Writer_ follows a writer hired by a handsome billionaire to write about his family history with Daphne du Maurier and finds herself drawn into a tangled web of obsession, marital secrets, and stolen manuscripts.**  
  
The once-rising literary star Olivia Fitzgerald is down on her luck. Her most recent novel--a retelling of Daphne du Maurier's _Rebecca_\--was a flop, her boyfriend of nine years just dumped her and she's battling a bad case of writer's block. So when her agent calls her with a high-paying ghostwriting opportunity, Olivia is all too willing to sign the NDA.  
  
At first, the write-for-hire job seems too good to be true. All she has to do is interview Henry "Ash" Asherwood, a reclusive mega billionaire, twice named _People_'s Sexiest Man Alive, who wants her help in writing a book that reveals a shocking secret about his late grandmother and Daphne du Maurier. But when Olivia arrives at his Malibu estate, nothing is as it seems. The more Olivia digs into his grandmother's past, the more questions she has--and before she knows it, she's trapped in a gothic mystery of her own.  
  
**With as many twists and turns as the California coast, _The Fiction Writer_ is a page-turner that explores the boundaries of creative freedom and whose stories we have the right to tell.**
